Series all square as Lions tamed

Sri Lanka A beat the England Lions by four wickets in Colombo yesterday to level the five-game one-day series at 2-2.

The Lions had a good start as Samit Patel (50) and Alex Hales (62) put on 85 for the first wicket, but the rest offered little as they were all out for 204.

Sri Lanka never really looked in trouble as they chased down the total with 47 balls to spare, Dimuth Karunaratne top-scoring for the hosts with 45.
